Speaker Size SPEAKERS
Set the size to suit your speakers.
LARGE: For speakers that can reproduce a full sound range, particularly the bass range below 100 Hz.
SMALL: For speakers that cannot adequately reproduce the bass range. This setting is sufficient for
most speakers if you are using a subwoofer.
NONE: For speakers you haven’t connected (center or surround).
For the surround back (Surr Back/SUR BACK) and subwoofer (Subwoofer/SUB-WFR), select YES if you
have connected one, or NO if you have not.
Speaker
Distance
DISTANCE
Enter the distance of the front, center and surround speakers from the seating position.
By setting the distance between the speaker’s position (except the subwoofer) and the listener’s seating
position, the sound delay time is automatically adjusted so that sound reaches the listener at the same
time. You can select distances between 3 and 30 feet at one-foot intervals.
Filter
Frequency
FILTER
Change the cut-off for bass output from the front speakers.
If you set the front speakers to “SMALL”, the filter is set to 100 Hz. Raise the cut-off if the bass from the
front speakers is unsatisfactory so that this bass is output through the subwoofer.
You can raise the cut-off from 100 Hz to either 150 Hz or 200 Hz.
HQ Sound
Mode
HQ MODE
Select ON or OFF for the video output and display when the HQ sound mode is used.
The HQ sound mode ensures that sound with a greater purity is played by closing down the unit’s circuits
such as display and video output.
Select the ON setting for outputting the video signals or indicating information on the display.
